“Sleepwalk Collective play in the space between fantasy and reality, tantalising us as to which is which and why that should matter.” – Peader Kirk, MKULTRA

Sleepwalk Collective is an internationally drawn Theatre/Performance group formed in London in 2006. We make intimate performance experiences for theatre and gallery spaces, exploring notions of truth, fiction and what it is to live and be human. We are professional misfits and liars. We deal in temporary shelters and makeshift survival strategies for the modern world. We like what happens when the lights are out, we like warmth and closeness, we like misunderstandings, and hope, and getting our hands dirty. We like a dark room full of strangers.

To date they have created three full-scale performance pieces (Y LA NOCHE ES UN OCÉANO, SOME MISTAKES & ANTICLIMAXES and AS THE FLAMES ROSE WE DANCED TO THE SIRENS, THE SIRENS), an online project and a number of smaller performance experiments. 

Sleepwalk Collective is currently based in Bristol and in Vitoria-Gasteiz in the Basque Country, Spain. They co-run an artist-support program called FACTORÍA DE FUEGOS.
